The hits keep coming in 26. The Bad Plus are calling it quits. 😢
I will enjoy their individual talents wherever they may be lent but sad to see that catalog of songs retired. Some of my all time favorites in there.

blue states should create escrow accounts into which citizens pay their federal taxes but are withheld by the state until the federal government stops acting like its only obligated towards states that support the maga agenda
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."
